BF1942 v1.61 required for tracking!

Ask the admin of your favorite server to update to the latest patch. They should've done so
ages ago anyway... :-)

2005-01-15

Mod separation has arrived!

The long awaited functionality where you can compare your stats
against other players by mod is finally here.
You can now browse ranking lists or look at the player details for your favourite mod.
Enjoy!

Hardware problems

We are experiencing some problems with our tracking server, intermitent
tracking loss is expected :-( Check the tracking stats to see the stops. We will
contact the HW vendor and hopefully the problems will be gone later this week.

New month, new stats! During the day your stats for June were converted into Veteran Bonus. As usual, you will still find your old stats under the June link on the Player page.

2003-06-23 - [Mayhem] vs. BFTracks top20

Database problems again! :( This time no data was lost and the tracker was never stopped :). We are investigating what caused these problems. We are sorry for any inconveniences.

2003-06-09

A major database crash caused some down time on the tracker between 10:00 and 19:00 CET 2003-06-08. We also had to close the site until we had fixed some database replication issues. We are very sorry about any inconveniences this may have caused.

2003-06-05 - 22:00

Misc site updates:

Much more detailed Player stats.

Live view now shows the time a player has been on a server and also the players Ranking Position as a tooltip.

Server and Map Rankings.

Morecolour (well, just those two actually ;-)

2003-06-02 - 16:00

As usual ranking positions will start to be recalculated again at 18:00 GMT.

2003-06-02 - 12:00

New month, new stats! During the day your stats for May were converted into Veteran Bonus. As usual, you will still find your old stats under the May link on the Player page.

2003-05-30 - 08:00

Planned maintenance on Monday June 02. Change of disk and stats to history etc. This means that we will move the stats a day later this time in order to be able to do all time consuming issues at the same time. The work may possibly take a whole day.

2003-05-30 - 06:00

A database crash forced us to stop the tracker between 01:00 - 06:00 GMT.

2003-05-04

Tracker problems. Between 13.00 and 20.00 GMT we had some problems with our tracker. Only 75% of
all European servers were tracked. The problems are solved now and we are again up at 99.99%
tracking, as usual. ;-) Sorry for any inconveniences that this may have caused. :-(

2003-05-01

New month, new stats! During the day your stats for April were converted into Veteran Bonus. As usual, you will still find your original stats under the April link on the Player page.

New ranking formula! When the previous ranking formula was designed, we could never imagine KDR's above 10 or even 20. You proved us wrong. The new ranking formula is too advanced to explain here (see our FAQ for more details). It focuses on FTPM, KDR, KPM, PT and Maps Played and all these values are weighted and capped. Highly specialised players (e.g. pilots) will have to try to broaden their skills a bit to hit the #1 spot.

New premises! Thanks to our hosting partners (K-Play) BF Tracks is now running on two fresh, eager and Linux-loaded machines. Together with the new bandwidth this will allow fancier site design (in the mean time, enjoy our in-game-inspired new stylesheet) and lots of other stuff. Stay tuned!

2003-04-22

Database problems hopefully solved!

Because of recent database troubles we have now moved to a parallel tracker database that we have had
running at our hosting partners (K-Play) site.

The parallel tracker has been running since last Wednesday. Tracking hasn't been 100% because almost all
public Battlefield 1942 servers were flooded last Friday. Be prepared for some small differences, sometimes
up to +/- 20 minutes of tracked play time.

2003-04-20

Why hasn't my ranking position been updated?

We are running the ranking calculations on a different server which has a
replicated version of the DB. Unfortunately the replication stopped
yesterday :-( We have just now restarted the replication again but it will
probably take a couple of hours before the databases are in sync again.

2003-04-10

The system is again up and running and no collected data was lost. :-)

2003-04-07

Preliminary support for server rankings implemented. Click the server name on the Player or Live Server pages to view all stats for that specific server.
Example: Mayhem - Squirrel Hunting Grounds

2003-04-01

New month, new stats! During the day your stats for March were converted into Veteran Bonus. As usual, you will still find your original stats under the March link on the Player page. Ranking updates will be enabled again at 20:00 GMT

2003-03-27

Due to high load on the database server our tracker was stopped between 22.00 - 23.00 GMT. Sorry for any inconveniences. :-(

We are currently discussing hosting with a possible hosting partner. These discussions will probably bear fruit at the beginning of next week! :-)

2003-03-10

We are very happy to announce that UDP Soft, the makers of the All-Seeing Eye software, has empowered us with BF Tracks customized access to their master servers. The result of this is that the BF Tracks server list is updated once every hour (and also, if you see the server in ASE, filtering by European servers, it is tracked by BF Tracks).

2003-03-07

Peace and order has been restored. All servers and databases are online again. Thanks for your patience!

We had some major database problems last night. Tracker was turned off from 21.15 to 23:35 GMT. We apologize for any
inconveniences that this incident may have caused. :-(

Because of the DB problems yesterday we moved the main database to a weaker server. While the old server is coming up we've
removed the ability to do "contains" searches to lessen the load. Until the old server is up you will have to search based
on End, Begin and Is instead.

The old server will probably be online again at 15.00 GMT.

2003-03-03

Old stats have now been moved to a history page available on the statistics page for each player. A veteran bonus for previous experience is also given to players that have played at least 45 minutes on six different maps.

The criterias to gain a ranking position have changed. In addition to the minimum six hours a user must now also play at least 45 minutes on six different maps.

The tracker was shut down during the update for the history function at 2003-03-03 12:30-16:30 GMT. Next time we will be much better prepared to avoid such and unnecessary interruption.

Ranking Position updates will start again at 19.00.

2003-03-02

Be prepared!Stats for February will tomorrow be moved to a separate page!
Basically, we start with a clean slate for March but you will still be able to
check all your previous stats from the February link on the player page. The
ranking positions will initially be intact but based on less Play Time (PT). The effect
of this is that positions will change quite rapidly as soon as people start playing.
For more information, feedback and general flaming ;) - check the discussions in our
Forums.

Due to database maintenance that we had to perform for tomorrow there were
some brief stops with the stats-tracker at 2003-03-02 12:30-13:30 GMT.

2003-02-25

Ranking formula update - a player must have played on at least six different maps in order to be able to get a top 10 000 ranking position.

Fixed some minor bugs and layout issues

2003-02-18

Changing the ranking formula really opened the feedback flood gates! :) Thank you for all your feedback, some were angry, some were happy and some gave us lots of new ideas. We enjoyed them all! So much that the ranking formula has been updated again. PT is now part of what we rank and a player has to have more than six hours of play time in order to get a ranking position.

We now rate the 10 000 top players in Europe.

Play time must now be more than one hour for best maps and best servers in the player view.

2003-02-17

You talked and we listened! A new ranking formula has been implemented (sorry [Mayhem]Mupp, former #1). This new formula focuses on three values (FTPM, KPM and KDR). Each value is weighted so that a player can get high rankings defending flags, fragging away in a plane or doing a little of both.

Now you can click a server name in the list below to see the score and players for that server - live!
